how did yuji become evil and how does he become god he has a wep and does he truly love shana?

I went through the novels once and probably missed something here and there but from what i understand:

Spoiler for Yuji:

Yuji's Reiji Maigo actually contains the soul or existence of several entities:

-one is john/johan who is the human lover of Pheles, a crimson lord. together they created the original Reiji Maigo so they could be with each other forever and Pheles would never have to take a human life ever again. Due to certain events johan was sealed into the Reiji maigo, and his personality once took over yuji's to speak to Pheles.

-Another entity is the silver flame knight who was responsible for taking away all which Margery Daw held dear.

-The last entity in the Reiji maigo is a lord of the crimson realm whose power is on the same scale as Alastor, Marchosias and Tiamat( We all know how powerful Alastor is from ep 24 don't we) who is know as the Sairei no Hebi. The Sairei no Hebi is somehow connected to the silver knight or they might even be the same person. he was sealed away a long time ago by the combined effort of many Flame Haze, banished and never to be reborn. however due to yuji and the Reiji Maigo he was reborn and inhabits yuji's body. In battle he/yuji wields the black/silver flame/shadow that combined with the anti-flame ring Azure, the sword Blutsauger and the Reiji maigo makes him darn close to be a invincible being. Currently he is the leader of the antagonist organization "The Bal Masqué". from the conversations he had with yuji i don't believe him to be a stereotypical evil boss like character, he seems to have a goal in which he honestly believes to be for the greater good. plus that unlike most other crimson world beings who view humans as nothing more than pawns or food source Sairei no Hebi actually has high respects of humans in general. He especially has a high degree of respect for Yuji, stating that yuji is someone who is worthy of sitting with him and embarking together to face the long road ahead. He even command his subordinates to call him "Lord of the crimson realm: Sairei no Hebi- Sakai Yuji". where other Crimson lords take their name from powerful mythological beings like angels, gods or demons. Sairei no Hebi chose to take the name of a human whose body he is inhabiting.

Spoiler for Shana Love Triangle:

I don't see myself ever getting the novels, so I might as well ask--is there still no resolution to the Yuiji/Shana/Kazumi triangle--that was the impression I got from that other spoilers. If so, is this dealt with in a fashion that doesn't make Yuiji look horribly indecisive, or just a plain jackass stringing them both along? I.e. does it seem plausible and reasonable that he hasn't made a choice yet--the character, at least in the anime, always struck me as too considerate and sensible to be someone who callously punted on decisions like that.

Sadly there is still no resolution to the Yuiji/Shana/Kazumi triangle. Yuji went to the dark side just before he was about to make the decision. He left the two girls waiting for a answer that will probably never come.
Personally i think its plausible for someone like yuji to have a hard time making a decision between the two, besides for most of the time he is either too busy training or have to deal with life threatening situations all the time. there is actually more i wanted to say regarding this matter. but i m not sure if i can describe what i want to say clearly with my level of English. Sorry not a native speaker, and i have a problem with putting my words in my head on paper.

Thanks! From the anime at least, the series had a reasonably upbeat tone, so I would hope that there will be a satisfactory resolution of some sort at the end. After Yoshida getting a spine, she became a much more sympathetic character. I finally "got" what she said to Shana in ep 24 when she's trying to persuade her to go rescure Yuiji, because I just bought the licensed DVD (the fansub is a bit cryptic). That makes the triangle more interesting, but I still want to see Shana and Yuiji ending up together.

I actually can see Yuiji going all badass.

Anyhow, if Yuiji's gone bad, I assume that indicates the light novels are nearing the climactic end. Poor Shana--that'll be a headache for her, that's for sure. I assume in the end she'll have to somehow bring him back from the dark side.

I am maybe wrong, but I don't think the light novel is going to end soon. Refer to here.

About Yuji going to dark side, it is due to entity inside Reiji Maigo. Because of this hougu, he can live on. But then, the entity trapped in this hougu will cause him to turn evil. What a irony.

I wonder how he looks in that form and does the spirit take entire control of his body or they both share it?

Spoiler for How Yuji looks like while being possessed :

He should still look like yuji with a different eye or expression. he is surrounded by black fire and casting a stunning silver shadow whenever he moves(he emits silver white light while surrounded by a aura of black flame, like some kind of half divine angel from heaven and half thrice damned demon from hell; a powerful and fitting yet sharp contrast he creates in the minds of reader) . it is fairly fitting that in one of his first appearances he descended from above floating down to greet his followers while being encased by a divine silver light and surrounded by a torrent of sinister black flame as he slowly descended to the ground like some god , while the members of Bal Masqué kneeled before their lord who has finally returned. It is also mentioned that many members of Bal Masque like Hecate for example, actually see the Sairei no Hebi the being that inhabits yuji (or "The Snake of the Festival" in English) as a god rather than a mere leader that leads them. Basically that whole scene in the novel was to show you that the new yuji is the bad-ass God of the Bal masques and to show-off his powers.

I believe that The Snake of the Festival is in control of yuji 's body, since it shows that the mind of the real yuji is unconscious or asleep but may still influence the decision made by the spirit. Besides The Snake of the Festival has a high respect for yuji and would perhaps honor his wishes. Bottom line is that right now The Snake of the Festival doesn't seem to be a really bad person but he is about to do things which will cause great conflict/turmoil in the world for his own ends. In the end only time will tell whether he is really evil or not, because right now we don't know enough about him to make a solid judgment.

I'm definitely buying Eternal Song although it's questionable as to when I'll actually get my hands on it. It took two years for them to release three volumes of the SNS manga, so just one volume of Eternal Song could take a while.

If this magazine that the new manga will be serialized in (Dengeki Kuro Maoh) stays a quarterly magazine, it could take up to two years for one volume to get released (thats if we are considering about 9 chapters a volume, and about 20 pages a chapter).

We just have to wait and see. this magazine might turn out successful and the publisher might make it a bi-monthly magazine or even better, a monthly magazine publishers do this stuff all the time
